About this home
Tucked into the convenient Oakley area of Asheville, this thoughtfully reimagined cottage lives as a rare combination of private garden sanctuary and in-town convenience. Fully fenced and surrounded by mature plantings, the property feels worlds away yet sits just moments from shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, including a nearby movie theater and walkable retail.
Originally built in 1920, the home underwent an extensive renovation in 2012, opening walls and ceilings to the framing in many areas and rebuilding with updated systems, insulation, and intentional design. The result is a space that blends vintage character with an airy, modern feel, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and natural light throughout the main living areas. Original elements were thoughtfully retained and repurposed, preserving the home’s charm while creating a fresh and inviting interior.
The open living and kitchen area flows into a light-filled sunroom that, while not counted in the heated square footage, serves as a highly usable extension of the home—ideal for yoga, reading, or morning coffee. A wall-mounted electric heater has been added in the bedroom to support heated living area functionality; buyer to verify. Primary heating is provided by the mini-split system and wood-burning stove. A loft accessed by a built-in ladder offers flexible space and adds to the home’s character.
Outside, the property unfolds into a thoughtfully cultivated landscape with established perennial gardens, winding paths, and multiple outdoor living areas designed over many years. Two greenhouses, including one electrified for grow lights and seed starting, support year-round gardening. Additional structures include a potting shed, garden shed, and tool shed, all contributing to both function and charm.
The expansive deck serves as a natural extension of the home and centers around a 6-person traditional outdoor sauna with accompanying cold plunge setup, creating a true wellness-focused environment. Birdlife is abundant, with cardinals, wrens, blue jays, and other songbirds regularly visiting the property.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the location offers exceptional access with close proximity to Biltmore Village, Mission Hospital, downtown Asheville, and I-240 and I-40, along with nearby dining and entertainment options.
A rare offering that lives far beyond its square footage, this property combines renovated living, garden infrastructure, wellness features, and privacy into a home that feels as much like a retreat as it does a residence....
